Father Zhou heard Mother Zhou's shout and quickly raised his head from the pile of debris.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
He took out a wooden box, opened it, and looked at a star badge placed inside.
Then, taking the box together, he got up and walked towards the restaurant.
"Why did you bring these things out again?"
Although Mother Zhou asked this question, when her eyes fell on the somewhat rusty star badge, she was full of tenderness.
“Seeing these things, it’s as if Xiaobai is still with us.
When I just took out this box, I had a hallucination, thinking that Xiaobai was talking behind me."
He smiled and shook his head: "Maybe I miss him too much."
Zhou Bai walked over blankly and said softly: "I'm here."
But this time, Zhou's father did not turn around like before.
Maybe it's really just a coincidence...
Zhou Bai walked over and sat next to them with some disappointment.
"I remember that when Zhou Bai was little, he loved watching cartoons about fighting monsters.
After watching it, I would always jump up and down at home, learning the lines and actions in it.
He said that when he grows up, he will be like the heroes in cartoons, fighting monsters and saving the world."
Zhou's mother recalled Zhou Bai's appearance as a child, and a rare smile appeared on her face.
"Kids of that age are all the same.
I remember Sister Li who used to live next door to us, and their children were the same age as Zhou Bai.
That child also shouted these words all day long."
Father Zhou's face wrinkled when he thought of the naughty kid next door.
"That child is so naughty and mischievous, he can't compare with us novices."
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled. The warm atmosphere made people forget that this world is still full of crises.
Dad Zhou smiled and took out the star badge from the box.
The fingertips rubbed the lines on it, and his eyes looked elsewhere. Under the guidance of this star badge, his thoughts returned to those times in his memory.
"Our little Bai has been a reliable little hero since he was a child.
Do you still remember the kid next door who brought a cat back from nowhere one day?
The cat was tied to the balcony by the child and almost fell to death."
Mother Zhou was deeply impressed by this incident, so she also frowned.
"The little girl who raised that cat was 6 or 7 years older than Zhou Bai at that time.
Standing under the balcony, I cried so hard that the whole building could hear me."
Although it was a bit inappropriate, Zhou's mother still couldn't help laughing when she thought of the little girl's appearance.
"The girl was only 13 or 4 years old. She was probably shocked at the time."
Father Zhou continued: "Later, Xiaobai ran into their house and rescued the kitten."
Zhou’s mother nodded proudly: “At that time, he had several cuts on his arm, which made me so distressed that I couldn’t even eat dinner.”
After Zhou Bai heard this, he finally recovered some memory fragments of this incident.
"The little girl later gave Xiaobai this badge and praised him as a little hero.
Just this sentence made him so happy that he couldn't sleep for several nights and kept knocking on our door in the middle of the night.
Just to ask us if he can really become a hero when he grows up."
When Zhou's father and Zhou's mother said this, they both couldn't help covering their mouths and started laughing.
At this time, Zhou Bai also recovered all the memories of this badge.
He remembered that when he first obtained the badge, he put it into a box very solemnly.
However, as he grew up, he became like all his peers.
Go to school, take exams, graduate, find a job, and become one of the common people.
The box containing the badge was forgotten by him. It was piled in the storage room with his other toys and was covered with dust.
If Father Zhou hadn't found this box today, he might have forgotten about it.
Zhou Bai stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the badge in his father's hand.
But when I touched my father's hand, I saw the expression on his face suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?" Zhou's mother noticed something strange about him.
"It's nothing, I just felt like a gust of wind blew through my hand just now."
Zhou Bai quickly retracted his hand.
But Zhou's father looked in his direction fiercely.
"Why do I feel that Xiaobai is beside us?"
When Zhou Bai heard what he said, his hands trembled a little.
Zhou's mother sighed softly, reached over and held Zhou's father's hand.
"I often feel the same way.
I think he might be sitting next to me.
Wherever I walked, he might have been standing there just now.
However, I know that it is useless no matter how much I think about him.
We must live our lives well so that he can feel at ease outside."
After hearing this, Father Zhou nodded solemnly.
"Yes, we can't drag him down.
What about the rules?
Take out the rules and check if I have memorized them all."
Mother Zhou let go of her hand and took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket.
"Well, I'm watching. You can carry it."
Father Zhou put down his badge and began to recite.
"After eating every night, please put a bowl of water in the kitchen. If the water in the bowl disappears the next day, please leave the house immediately."
"Only one person is allowed in the kitchen at a time."
"Please close all windows in your home from 8pm to 7am the next morning."
"Before opening all the doors, please knock ten times to make sure there are no strange sounds before you can go in."
…
Dad Zhou recited the contents of the note one by one.
Mother Zhou watched him reciting and nodded to encourage him from time to time.
As they recited, Zhou Bai slowly stood up from his chair and wandered to the window.
He raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky.
The dazzling sunlight immediately made him squint his eyes.
As long as the sun is still there, everything won't be too bad.
He closed his eyes, lowered his head, and saw a fat figure with short curly hair on the street downstairs, also looking in the direction of Zhou Bai.
He turned back and glanced at his parents behind him who were still reciting the rules.
Then the body passed through the window and floated downstairs.
"You calmed down so quickly?"
Aunt Wang was a little excited inside, but on the surface, she still maintained her usual fierce look.
Zhou Bai stopped in front of her, his expression a little cold, and he didn't really care about her attitude.
"I can go with you.
But you must agree to my request."
(Friends, there is only one update today.
I have been busy with some things recently, so there should be only one update in the past few days.
In addition, after the main plot of this book is completed, I have prepared several extra chapters.
There are some pitfalls that cannot be filled in the main plot, so I will try my best to fill them in the extra chapters.
In addition, if you want to see any extras, you can leave a message here and I will come and watch it.)
